A little over a month ago, we posted news of the double murder of, Academy Award Winning, former American Idol Contestant, Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother, at their own home in Chicago. Since then, Hudson’s nephew, for whom an amber alert was issued, was also found dead in an SUV the following Monday. All three were brutally murdered by multiple gunshot wounds.

Hudson has already held funeral ceremonies for her loved ones; however, since then the only “person of interest” in the case has been 27 year old William Balfour, estranged husband of Hudson’s sister. Since the murders on October 24th, he has been held on a Parole violation charge, but, is now (finally…) a waiting formal charges by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office for the 3 homicides. This could take a day, or up to a week.

Ordinary Joe here, letting you know the truth about Rapper Lil Wayne's rumoured death.

He is NOT DEAD. A screenshot of a faulty website made to look like the Official BBC News site, is being sent around stating that he died lastnight.

Perez Hilton has also confirmed that the story is false and that Lil Wayne is in fact alive and well (w/e "well" is for him).

Before you believe something or someone do your research kids, and if you're too lazy the Ordinary Joe Blog is here for you ;)

Academy Award Winner and former American Idol contestant, Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother were found dead in their home earlier today, in Chicago. A family member discovered the bodies at the family’s home in the South Side. Her mother was found on the living room floor, while the brother was found in the bedroom; both suffered gunshot wounds.

Police report that no forced entry occurred, and that the suspect (William Balfour) may have had a domestic dispute with his former girlfriend, the singer’s sister (Julia). TMZ.com brought light to the sister’s MySpace page, on which a photo comment suggested that the aforementioned dispute may have been over a car. According to the Illinois Department of Corrections, Balfour is on 7 years parole after serving time for an attempted murder charge.

An amber alert was issued this evening for the son of Hudson’s sister, 7 year old Julian King. He is believed to have been taken from the scene by the suspect. The child’s mother has not been heard from since serving her shift today, during her city Bus driving job.

In the past, Hudson has acknowledged her mother as the reason she decided to audition for American idol, which was the first gigantic step towards her superstar life that some see as a real-life Cinderella story.

Hudson’s self-titled debut album had reached the #2 position on the Billboard Hot 200 earlier this month. However, through this hard time, hopefully Hudson can show that she is as resilient as she is talented.
